Key sequence x o starts with non-prefix key x

[ghost]

I'm getting started with modalka, and I tried to run (modalka-define-kbd "x o" "C-x o") like i saw here but I got an error. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction? Thanks!

I guess the problem is that x is already bound to something in the context where you try to use modalka. So it's not a prefix key and thus you cannot get a sequential command.

Oh of course, I misunderstood how it works. I had set (modalka-define-kbd "x" "C-x") earlier, which was blocking the x key. Thanks!

On a related note - once we have...

(modalka-define-kbd "x" "C-x")
(modalka-define-kbd "e" "C-e")

...why can't we press x e to get C-x C-e? Instead, my config looks like -

(let ((keybind-re (rx-to-string '(group-n 1 (or (and bow (1+ (char graph)) eow)
                                                  (and (1+ (char graph))))))))
    (mapc
     (lambda (actual)
       (let ((target (replace-regexp-in-string keybind-re "C-\\1" actual)))
         (modalka-define-kbd actual target)))
     '("`" "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "0" "-" "="
           "q" "w" "e" "r"     "y" "u" "i" "o" "p" "[" "]" "\\"
            "a" "s" "d" "f"   "h" "j" "k" "l" ";" "'"
             "z"         "v" "b" "n" "m" "," "." "/"
                                         "<" ">" "?"
                           "SPC"
       "x =" "x -" "x e" "x s" "x d"
       "x f" "x l" "x x" "x c" "x v" "x b"
       "t w" "t e" "t l"
       "c n" "c ," "c ." "c p"
       "c c n" "c h u" "c h m")))
